Ser Jorah just can't quit Daenerys of House Targaryen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains. We watch him return again and again, back to Dany's side until she has no choice but to accept him back into her service. Devoted and doomed to unrequited love, in perpetuity. What does perpetuity mean? For fucking ever, that's what it means. Greyscale can't stop him, a parade of young lovers can't stop him, not even white walkers can keep Jorah from his Queen. He stands by her, watching her love other, lesser, men from deep inside the friend zone, none (okay, maybe one) equal to his singular devotion. This week, we honor the pure heart of Ser Jorah Mormont with our own recipe for hearts deliciously scorched and split in two: Grilled Artichokes with Garlic and Lemon.

If Sam Tarly could tweet to the world, it would read "My best friend was just killed, my dad kicked me out, and now I'm scrubbing sh*t at the Citadel. FML." (FML meaning Fuck My Life, according to the twitter-verse.) Sam Tarly has finally landed at The Citadel, studying to be a Maester - dream come true! But it's not as glamorous as it sounds - he's apparently trapped in an endless loop of chamber pots and soup pots. Poops and soups all day, every day. FML indeed, Sam.

The cooks at the Citadel don't seem very concerned about good food, but a good mushroom soup can be quite delicious even if it's not very pretty to look at. FML doesn't have to be bad if it happens to be a bowl full of farro, mushroom & lentils. (See what I did there?)

Oh Sansa, you sweet summer child. Lemon cakes are just one of many exotic things Sansa falls in love with during her time in the south, and definitely the only thing from King's Landing that was actually sweet. Google 'Sansa lemon cakes' and a bazillion different recipes pop up. Cupcakes, tea cakes, cocktails, topped with candied lemon, topped with icing, topped with curd - it's probably the most popular recipe idea for Game of Thrones. There is even an 'official' Sansa's Lemon Cakes recipe, commissioned by HBO. Friends, this is not that recipe.

Since that fall out of the tower back in episode 1, little Bran Stark has been on a journey up north, down a cave, in the skies, to the past and quite possibly to the future as well. That's a lot weirdness even for Westeros, but our Bran is handling it in stride. Mostly. He may be a bit freaky now, but we know that somewhere deep beneath the toasted nuttiness is the sweet young Bran we remember from the very beginning.
